Puzzle Description:

Dirk Grunyon died at his home in 1867, surrounded by family and friends. After his death, Millie moved to Paris, where she studied painting under the tutelage of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Sadly, she became known more for her fondness of the "green fairy" than for her beautiful oils. She died from pneumonia in 1882 and is buried in Le Cimetiere du Montparnasse.
